Chapter 929: A Peach Blossom Stone, a Heavenly Sect
"Your Majesty, Honorable Caliph, there is only one peach blossom stone in the world, just as there is only one Heavenly Sect in the world. Although the Khan of the Lower Peach Blossom Stone believes in the Heavenly Sect, it does not change the fact that the Lower Peach Blossom Stone is also an inseparable part of the Peach Blossom Stone Country. Moreover, this fact is not only recognized by our dynasty, but by the Qarakhanid dynasty and successive caliphs, including the lower Taohuashi. The Great Dictionary of the Turkic Language, which was obtained from the Caliph's Nietrymian University, was written by the Qarakhanid scholar Muhammad. Written by Kashgari and dedicated to Niedemian University. In the dictionary, the Qarakhanid and Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty are listed as part of the Taohuashi Kingdom. That is, to recognize that the lands ruled by the Qarakhanid Dynasty belong to the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom! Therefore, the war between our dynasty and the Qarakhanid dynasty is a civil war in the Taohuashi kingdom, and has nothing to do with His Majesty the Caliph......"
The one who was talking in the palace of the regimental city in Baghdad was Ji Yi, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. It must have been a mistake for the Caliph not to summon Ji Yi immediately upon his arrival, and to allow Ji Yi to freely access the collection of books and scholars at Niezemia University.
Because Ji Yi, a notorious colonist, was very cunning, he soon found an argument very favorable to the Great Song Dynasty in the collection of Niezemia University - it turned out that the Qarakhanid Dynasty had always considered itself to be China, and it did not claim to be a vassal to the Great Food Caliph!
In other words, the Great Song Dynasty's conquest of the Qarakhanid Dynasty is a "Taohuashi internal affair", and the Great Food State has no right to interfere!
And this "no right to interfere" is not a casual remark. Because now the Great Food Country is also in a state of being divided into three like the Peach Blossom Stone Country.
There was an Abbasid caliphate in Baghdad, a Fatimid caliph in a place called Egypt, and another caliphate in the more distant kingdom of Asbania...... Oh, it seems that there is no caliph for the time being due to infighting, but the descendants of the caliphate are still there, and there may be a revival at some point.
So the current big food country is also divided into three!
If the caliph of Baghdad was unwilling to recognize a peach blossom stone, then the Great Song Dynasty could not recognize a caliph either.
Ji Yi said a word, and Saeed, who followed him. Wan Sisheng translated a sentence, Wan Sisheng translated a sentence, and the faces of the caliph Mustazr and Sultan Muhammad in the hall were more ugly.
When Ji Yi was researching Western politics and history, the two of them also got more news about the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom. The source of the news is twofold, on the one hand, the Qarakhanid envoy Yusupu arrived in Isfahan and informed him that the eastern Qarakhanid dynasty was about to be attacked by the Song dynasty in Shangtaohuashi.
On the one hand, Pu Ali's brother Pu Abu sent an envoy to inform him that the colonists of the Song Dynasty had firmly controlled the Srivijaya Strait! Even Pu Abu himself was forced to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty and served as the Aceh Inspector of the Great Song Dynasty.
The two news taken together just verified Pu Ali's words - the Great Song Dynasty produced a king as powerful as the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin. Although this Heavenly Khan II could not handle the northern steppes, he had a strong navy that could be expanded from the sea.
Moreover, the navy of the Heavenly Khan II has now taken the Srivijaya Strait, which is a key point in the sea!
This not only meant that the Song Dynasty could reap huge revenues from the Srivijaya Strait – millions of dinars a year could be collected casually! And it also means that the navy of the Great Song Dynasty can enter the Indian Ocean at any time.
Access to the Indian Ocean means contact with the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad and the Fatimid Caliphate in Egypt......
If the caliphate of Baghdad and the sultan of Isfahan supported the Qarakhanid, then the Great Song could also retaliate by aiding the Fatimid dynasty in Egypt with trade and money!
But if the Qarakhanid Dynasty is not aided, the Great Song Dynasty will stop the pace of westward expansion after annexing the Taohuashi? Even if they no longer expand westward on land, but what about at sea?
Westward expansion on land is subject to logistical and financial pressures and is unlikely to continue indefinitely. But expansion at sea can be profitable! The Great Song Dynasty has now won at least half of the rights to block and collect tolls in the Srivijaya Strait...... With such a big sweetness, the Tian Khan of the Song Kingdom will definitely fall in love with the sea!
If the Song continued to expand into the Indian Ocean, the caliphs and sultans would certainly be powerless. At least they themselves do not have a navy capable of fighting with them.
What a headache!
The caliph and the sultan looked at each other, and the two high-minded young men were actually a bit of a sympathetic to each other - they were both puppets. The caliph was the puppet of the Sultan, and Sultan Mehmed I was the puppet of his third brother.
It was a war peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not something that the two of them could decide, and they had to consult the governor of Jaber, who was waving his army to attack the Gul people who were attached to the Ghaznavid Dynasty, before making a decision.
"Honorable envoy," said the high caliph, "as the heir of the Prophet, my position is bestowed by Allah, and I do not need to rely on mortal emperors who are on the Peach Blossom Stone." However, I will not immediately declare a holy war against the Peach Blossom Stone. Because I must know the whole truth, if the war between the Qarakhanid and Song dynasties was really a civil war in Peach Blossom, and the faith of the Celestial Christians protected by the Qarakhanid dynasty could be guaranteed in the future, then Allah would not want his followers to be involved in a cruel and senseless war.
Of course, if your emperor is willing to convert to Allah, then the Celestial Sect can support him to become the master of the entire Peach Blossom Stone! ”
The caliph's words were also translated to Ji Yi by Wan Sisheng sentence by sentence. Hearing that the caliph wanted Zhao Ji to believe in the Heavenly Sect, the corners of Ji Yi's mouth showed a mocking smile. Then he spoke: "This official is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can't decide what religion the Son of Heaven believes. However, I can bring the knowledge of the Heavenly Sect back to the Great Song Dynasty, translate it into Chinese, and then dedicate it to the Great Song Emperor. This is also the purpose for which the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent me to Baghdad...... In addition, I also brought gifts from the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, including his portrait and our Chinese Confucian classics. I also hope that His Majesty the Caliph will learn Confucianism, which seems to be what the Prophet Muhammad wanted. Your prophet said, "Seek learning, even though it is far away in China." Now I have brought Chinese knowledge to Baghdad, and I hope to bring Baghdad knowledge back to China. ”
That's right!
The caliph and the sultan exchanged views. The prophet said this! Moreover, there is no saying that the knowledge in the University of Niezemia is not allowed to be passed on.
However, the caliph did not nod immediately, he said, "Honorable envoy, you have brought a portrait of the Upper Peach Blossom Stone Emperor?" Can I take a look first? ”
Painting portraits does not conform to the teachings of the Celestial Sect, so there are no painters in the Celestial Sect world in this era, and a small number of drawings are similar to the art homework of elementary school students.
Caliph al-Mustazil, who loved culture and art, was very interested in Chinese painting, so he made such a request.
What is displayed in front of him is a hyper-realist oil painting "The Costume of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty" painted by Zhang Zeduan! Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, rode on a tall boundary river horse, wearing a shiny Qingtang Qizi armor, carrying a long sword in his waist, and the red cloak behind him was waving in the wind, looking majestic.
Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really a Khan!
However, this is not the most shocking, what surprised the Heavenly Sect nobles present the most was that the Great Song Tianzi on the picture looked like a real person. It's not like a painting, but some kind of magic has imprinted the portrait on the canvas.
Is it the unimaginable painting skills of Peach Blossom Stone, or is the Peach Blossom Stone Country actually a magical world?
"O Allah!" Sultan Mehmed I unconsciously stood up from his throne and looked at the oil painting in front of him in a daze, "This is a painting?" Is this really a painting!? ”
"It's magic!" Immediately, a bearded religious scholar shouted, "The Peach Blossom Stone people know magic, they must have something to do with the devil!" ”
The caliph immediately glared at the Sufi scholar of Niezemia University: "If the Peach Blossom Stone people really know magic, then the most terrifying thing is not this painting, but their bursting magic!" ”
A painting is not deadly...... At least it doesn't look like the burst magic is powerful!
Considering that Muhammad was the "sealed" prophet - Allah's revelation has been fully communicated, there is no way for Caliph Mustazir to get the knowledge to crack the black magic of the Great Song from Allah.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Heavenly Fang Sect to study the black magic of the Peach Blossom Stone people!
Thinking of this, the caliph whispered to the Sultan: "Muhammad, we should send people to the land of Peach Blossom Stone to learn their knowledge!" If there really is magic in this world, then we should master it as well.
Also, the Peach Blossom people seem to have mastered the secrets of Roman fire, and we should try to get our hands on it! ”
"But how are we going to get the Roman fire and the dark magic of the Mahogany Stone?" The Sultan asked.
"It can be exchanged for books and manuscripts from the University of Niezemia." The caliph said, "You can divide all the manuscripts in two, give them half first, and then send someone to Peach Stone to learn how to make Roman fire and bursting, and when you have learned it, give the other half." ”
"But they already got a lot of books from the University of Niedemia." The Sultan said, "Are the remaining books still of such high value?" ”
The caliph and the sultan did not think that the knowledge in the University of Niezemia could be exchanged, so they opened up and let Li Gang, Bai Siwen, and Wan Mud go in and copy it. Aristotle's Instrumental Theory and Euclid's Geometry Primitives have now been copied.
"Yes!" The caliph was confident, "It is the result of hundreds of years of translation and collection, and it is the essence of Greek, Egyptian, Indian and Persian civilizations. How much can they copy in that short time? Not one percent is possible. Without our help, they would not have copied all the classics at Niedemia University in ten years.
And only if they get some knowledge first, they can be hungry for the rest of it! ”
